I V There were many who worked hard and long in getting a competent doctor who wanted to practice in a small rural situation and we got one that not only likes small towns but one that also desires to be a part of the community in which he lives. This is a definite plus for the I was real happy when I started to read your article about Farnsworth reservoir. It has been one of my favorite fishing ponds for a long time. But my enthusiasm was short - lived when I read that they would spoil it all when they stated they might close the roads to motorized vehicles. I getting a doctor back and it is appreciated. The Salina area has been a come and go location for medical services over the years and it is good to see some stability come to that profession in this area. It is a drawing card that strengthens existing business and industry as well as future prospects of growth. in Viewpoint The Way Carol L. Jensen it snows! What does it do All winter long I have been counting the days until the arrival of Spring. Ive wandered through the seed catalogs, drifted through the pages of my stack of gardening books, used up pages of my notebook sketching where I will plant this - or where I will plant that - and in one of my wilder moments, I even designed a pond complete with water lilies and goldfish (Im sure our cats would have loved that). I looked forward to being able to get out to the horse corrals without sinking to my knees in muck - and being able to brush and shine them up so that their true colors - black and white - would be apparent instead of the current green and black. Spring officially arrived today - But so did the snow. If it was intended to be humbling - it was. It reminded me that the arrival of Spring is one of those things that Man has no hand in. We can no more change the schedule of its arrival than we can change the time of the rising of the moon or the setting of the sun. It arrives and departs at its own pleasure. In our valley, Spring is often ushered in by hefty winds - we awoke one morning last week to find our yard piled high with tumbleweeds - the rewards from a night of howling winds. But the winds serve a useful purpose as life that has remained dormant - resting until Winter gives in and blows away -begins to stir. They say there is a lesson in everything - and I believe that Spring - the time of renewal - is the time to put away the disappointments, failures, and frustrations that have entered our lives in the past - let the winds blow them all securely into the past - and start with a fresh slate. Its all in our point of view, I guess. Some look at a barren winterswept meadow and see nothing. Others can look at the same meadow and see beauty in a hundred areas. We have to look for the leaf on the bare bough and have faith that it will blossom and grow, and fulfill its earthly mission. Similarly we have to have the faith that no matter what we are called to go through while were here - there is the promise that one day all will be well. We celebrate two important events this week - the coming of Spring and the observation of Easter. Both with a similar theme - the promise of new life. Its a good time for the heart to consider once again the meaning of our existence. Why am I here? Where am I going? Somewhere along the line haven't you gone through some difficult personal situation - and upon looking back thought How did I ever make it through? And yet, if you could trade problems with someone else - would you? I doubt it So, as Spring and Easter arrive on our doorstep, lets welcome them and, with our nose to the grindstone, or our shoulder to the wheel, trust with faith that all will be well. Above all lets take some time to smell those roses - feel the invigoration of life, savor it, and not let one moment escape without enjoying every minute of it to the fullest degree.

Tibbs. Dastrup, a former bookkeeper for Kay Peterson, Inc., had originally been charged with 106 counts of theft or forgery, however the charges were condensed to 18. Don Brown, state prosecuting attorney said that in order to condense the charges from 106 to 1 8, the money allegedly taken by the defendant during each six month period was considered as one charge. The time period covering the charges extends from spring of 1985 to January of 1989. . Dastrup was charged with 17 second degree felonies and one third degree felony. The case is still being investigated and Attorney Brown says plea It Looks From Here that if any other instances of forgery or theft are turned up, Dastrup will have to pay restitution. Figures thus far show that the alleged Figure of $64,945.83 was taken by Dastrup from Peterson Distributing, Inc. Attorney Brown said that Dastrup was employed as a bookkeeper and allegedly forged checks from the company to himself. It is also alleged that checks written payable to the company would come in blank and Dastrup would sign his name to them. Pre-senten- ce investigation and sentencing were set for April 5. Judge Tibbs told the court that the penalty for a second degree felony is 1 to 15 years prison, and a fine of not more than $10,000. Sentences for the felonies can run concurrently, or consecutively. Easter Message from LDS Church Presidency The First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-da- y Saints has issued the following Easter message: The Easter season is a sacred time of remembrance and of for the sufferings, atoning sacrifice and glorious resurrecgratitude tion of the Savior Jesus Christ The Glory of Easter is the Risen Savior, the Light and the Life of the world. lie triumphed over death and dispelled the deep darkness of the crucifixion on Calvary. He arose from the grave in power and beauty and life, the first fruits of all who slept, the assurance for all mankind of all ages that as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (I Corinthians 15:22.) Through his divine sacrifice, Jesus Christ became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him. (Hebrews 5:9.) TTo the solemn witness of the holy scriptures, ancient and modem, we add our declaration: We worship Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. He lives; He is the Son of God. He came to earth as the Only Begotten of the Father, fulfilling through His suffering in Gcthsemane and upon the cross, the atoning sacrifice by which all mankind may be saved. This Easter and throughout the year, may we have uppermost in our minds His divine teachings, the unparalleled example of His pure love, and His willing sacrifice of self to accomplish the holy purposes of God, the Eternal Father.

AgriDevelopment is going to grow carrots again this year and will also be testing several varieties of onions. Since the season here is a little hotter than that in other onion growing ares of the state, experimentation is needed to see which varieties do the best locally. It is the goal to encourage and provide whatever help -- possible for local growers to become profitable producers of such crops as would be needed by a processor. Assistance with planting, harvesting and marketing the crop will be available from AgriDevelopment if interested growers desire. Timely and regular communication is essential. If help with obtaining seed and planting is desired your needs must be made known immediately by calling Bill Egan at 896-8728. AgriDevelopment is contracting with Lamar Phillips to help manage the demonstration plots this year. Phillips also has some produce marketing experience and will be taking care of that aspect of the work.

Ernie Etter Food supply is safe Dear Editor: health A few experts, led by actress Meryl Streep...are telling the public that apples and apple products are unsafe to eat. Theyre totally wrong. They have nothing to lose by making the wild claims, but innocent family farmers are being hurt by all the confusion and bad publicity. The mess has been created by irresponsible science and bad reporting. A ...report by the Natural Resources Defense Council, using data rejected three years ago by reputable scientists, claimed our nations childrens health was being jeopardized by the use of agricultural chemicals. This is not true even though the report was treated as gospel by the 60 Minutes television show. Our food supply is safe. The EPA establishes safe chemical -- residue levels after exhaustive testing. Tolerances are then set at levels far below those shown to be safe in the laboratory. Food and Drug Administration inspectors were able to detect and thwart recent sabotage of produce imported from Chile through normal testing procedures which is evidence of the effectiveness of monitoring system and the caution exercised in protecting our food system. Family farmers are being hurt by the publics misplaced trust in the movement. are Apple growers bearing the brunt of the problem now, but all farmers will suffer if current misconceptions are not straightened out quickly. The public must be assured that Americas food supply is safe. Bill Ferguson Royal Apple Sales, Inc. Santaquin, Utah anti-chemi- How about a new deck? To the Editor. With all of the recent interest in Wilderness issues, again, it causes me to recall the process many of us participated in, during the preparations of the 1984 Utah Wilderness Act. I remember will the approach then taken was in the spirit of compromise which enabled us to prepare a bipartisan working agreement through cooperation and trust. Many of our associates traveled at their own expense, to Washington, DC to testify at the congressional hearings on the Bill. Even when some 11th hour juggling was necessary to accommodate further exploration for carbon dioxide near the then proposed Box Death Hollow Wilderness Area, both sides were still able to agree to a final compromise. Or did we? Recent actions through appeals by the very same preservation groups, prong and delay the decisions that were addressed under the Release Language portion of the 1984 Wilderness Act. One example of these actions include appeals on the very issue of exploration and development of the carbon dioxide, of which the intent of Congress is very clear. Another example is with regards to lands inventoried early on in the Roadless Area Review and Evaluation (RARE 1 , RARE2) process. The 1984 Utah Wilderness Act released the lands not designated as Wilderness, and returned them to multiple use, or in other words, lands available for many uses. The Forest Service, caretaker of these lands, then proceeded to develop management plans for these remaining lands. These plans give emphasis direction for a wide range of uses, including wildlife, recreation, grazing, water, timber harvest and others. Veiled attempts were made to address additional wildland through this process, probably, with hopes of revisiting the Wilderness issue again on the Forest Service lands in Utah. I do not believe these preservation groups have compromised in good faith, with the citizens of Utah. THus, I for one can say through experience, that when itcomes again to the spirit of compromise on Wilderness issues, a deck is stacked against me, therefore I may demand a new deck. Sheldon Steed Resource Manager Escalante Sawmills Inc. Escalante, Utah Dr. Thomas Hyatt member of AAFP Dr. Thomas A. Hyatt, of Salina, has completed continuing education requirements to retain active membership in the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), the national association of family doctors. The requirements call for the members to complete a minimum of 150 hours of accredited continuing medical study every three years. The Academy, the countrys largest medical association with more than 60,000 members, was the first national medical group to require members to keep up with medical progress through continuing education. The Academy, founded in 1947 and headquartered in Kansas City, MO, was instrumental in the establishment of a new primary specialty in family practice in 1969. |
